A treasured figure of Russian folklore, Snegurochka the snow maiden is depicted with her Grandfather Frost in this masterfulsculpture created by our husband-and-wife artisans. In their workshop not far from Moscow, they begin with carefully selected wood from the native linden tree that has been dried for at least two years. After the figure is meticulously carved by hand, the carver's wife hand paints both the front and back in a distinctive palette of subtle shades in a matte finish. Each sculpture is unique, distinctive and reflects the artisans' individual styles and talents - no two are ever alike. Limited edition of 40. 14" tall.
